"How customs officers give notices to organisations that are not companies"

Illustration for Customs and Excise Act 2018

If you are a body corporate, which is not a company, the chief executive or a Customs officer can give you notice under the Customs and Excise Act 2018. They can do this by delivering the notice to a principal officer of your organisation, or to an employee at your main office. They can also post the notice to your main office, or send it by fax machine or electronic means to your contact address.

The chief executive or a Customs officer can also send the notice to a document exchange box you are using, or to a registered user using the registered user system. Your contact electronic address is an email or other electronic address that you have provided to Customs, or one that they have reasonable grounds to believe you will receive.

You can find more information about how notices were given in the past by looking at the 1996 No 27 s 284(3) legislation.
